Reasoned Action Model

Intention – Intention represent motivational components of a behavior, that is, the degree of conscious effort that a person will exert in order to perform a behavior (Ajzen, 1991, p.201).

This theory was first created by Ajzen and Fishbein in 1980. This theory provides a framework to study the attitudes that support behaviours and suggests that the most important determinate of an individual’s behaviour is their behavioural intent. This is the individual’s intention to preform a certain behaviour, which is formed from a combination of their attitude towards the behaviour and the subject norm. (The subject norm is the individual’s perception of what others expect them to do).

planned behavior, if we want to predict a behavior we need to know three things: (1) attitude

Courtland Kelly was working for General Motors (GM) as a head of the nationwide GM inspection program and later as a quality manager for Caviler. Kelly was a proud third generation employee and enjoyed working for GM. During the course of his employment, Kelly found several flaws with the vehicles and reported them to his colleagues’ and supervisor but no actions were taken. After several fail attempts on brining GM’s attention to their faulty products, Kelly sued GM on 2002 and 2003, but both the case were dismissed. Although the management was aware of these defects, anyone who raised concerns were discouraged or shut down. U.S. Attorney Anton Valukas writes in his reports that “Group after group and committee after committee within GM that reviewed the issue failed to take action or acted too slowly” (Higgings & Summers, 2014). Everyone one knew about the issues, but they failed to take an action to correct it (Higgings & Summers, 2014).

The Rational Choice model, developed originally by Anthony Downs, suggests that most voters do not strongly identify with political parties. By providing a model that places voters and each party candidate on a scale ranging from extremely liberal to extremely conservative, rational choice allows for the understanding of a person’s decision to vote. As Dr. Daron Shaw argues, by using “proximity voting” or “directional voting,” we can understand how voters decide how to vote by analyzing several relevant factors influencing their support for a specific party candidate. However, criticisms on the rational choice model are apparent in that it assumes a high level of knowledge, a “single dimension” in “political competition,” and incorrect prediction

Royal Unibrew (“Unibrew”) is the second largest brewery group in Denmark with foreign operations in selected Western and Eastern European countries as well as export activities to more distant locations, such as the Middle East and Africa. The company is listed on NASDAQ OMX and currently has more than 16,000 shareholders1. Furthermore, they have a broad product range which includes beer, soft drinks, soda water, mineral water, and fruit juices. In this paper, I will exclusively focus on them as a brewery, i.e. their operations within the beer market.

Individual behaviour functions by behavioural intentions which are a function of an individual’s attitude towards decisions they make about their own behaviour and subjective norms surrounding performance of that behaviour. Subjective norms is defined as an individual’s perception of whether other individuals that are important to them feel about their behaviour and if such behaviour should be carried out. The contribution of the individual is then weighted by the motivation to comply with the said important individual to then go on and perform a certain behaviour as per the wishes of the important individual. The three

Based on the TRA model, both attitudes and norms have direct influence towards behavioral intention in which is the potential predictor tool. All the external factors are just influence behaviour indirectly, through their influence on attitude and subjective norm (Tsai, Chen, & Chien, 2012).

When dealing with persuasion, the Reasoned Action Model is often used as a way to predict behavior. The attitude toward the behavior, the social perception of the norm, and the perceived behavioral control all influence one’s intentions, which in turn impacts their behavior. Due to the fact that the Reasoned Action Model largely relies on social perception to ultimately determine behavior, the use of social proofing can be tied in to further strengthen the persuasive message of the YMCA. In order to accomplish this we plan to bring in Aaron Rogers to visit schools throughout the Wisconsin area and address the students on the importance of living a healthy and active lifestyle.

This model has 5 stages; Pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance however the individual may not move from stage 1-5. Implementation intentions make explicit the mechanisms that reduce the ‘gap’ between intentions and the attainment of a behavioural goal. The Health Belief model, The protection motivation Theory as well as the Theory of planned all describe how a set of beliefs influence a person’s health. Beliefs that people hold towards health such as attitude, control risk perception and confidence have major impacts on their behavior. If a person is characterized by the protective motivation theory for example that person will ask themselves how severe the illness is they are trying to prevent?

The theory of reasoned action would appear to possess the necessary conceptual elements to explain and predict BPD. In addition, considering strong genetic ties between bipolar and other mental illness in the family’s history that predict BPD. BPD consists of core features that include emotional dysregulation, high levels of impulsivity, leading to self-harm and suicidality, and disturbed interpersonal functioning (Fonagy et al., 2011). Furthermore, a BPD client will engage others through intense attachments such as idealizing and devaluing, which negatively impacts others in their environment (Cozolino, 2014). Based on the theory of reasoned action, a person with BPD will either idealize or devalue their relationships because the attitude

My topic is about skin cancer and this is one of the worst disease. 80 % of the people are in risk of getting skin cancer. Skin cancer is a very common disease. If you get skin cancer you will get red spot on your body. This disease spreads abnormal cells though your body.

When considering health psychology it is important to recognise the various models it is made up of. The basis of this essay will be to take a look at the health belief model and the theory of planned behaviour, considering their historical origins, the positives and negatives of applying these approaches and examples of when they have been used. After some analysis it may offer some insight into possible improvements that could be implemented from further research. Also included will be an overview of how the models compare to each other and critical evaluation of research from this field.

This is then solved by marketing key ideas to the community in areas where they are lacking in the hopes of being able to change their generally ignorant perceptions.
